Christie's First Six Months

I am not impressed with Chris Christie. When he went toe-to-toe with Senate President Sweeney, the Governor blinked. This so-called property tax cap legislation has way too many exemptions in it. My propery taxes will certainly rise more than 2% under this very weak bill.

Oh yeah...saved us tons of money...NOT! My municipal tax went up because of his cuts. My school tax bill went up because of his cuts. Riding on a train went up because of his cuts. Etc., etc. Oh yeah, he's doing a bang up job.

When will he start concentrating on the job situation here in NJ instead of demonizing every union and their members?

your school taxes went up because
most local leaders have NO COURAGE.
we, in middletown, voted down our
budget and the town council upheld
the mandate from the people.
that's how it's supposed to work

hey ambrosiajr - one of the biggest impediments to job creation is the insanely greedy unions and their abdurd demands. Thanks to that boob Corzine's signing of the job-killing prevailing wage law, things are even worse. Go get em Chris, keep standing up to the unions that are destroying the state.

We voted down our school budget also, and the all republican township committee vetoed the proposed reduction. Its a regional school and all the parties had to agree. Our township committee didn't. And don't tell me about voting them out..that never happens. They've been in power for over a quarter of a century with no end in sight.

Correction: School taxes were in line but Middletown's municipal budget is a crime in progress.

You guys are plain ol' silly. Your property taxes and school taxes have been going up long before Chris Christie was governor, so don't blame him for this mess. If your schools can't make decent cuts, it's time for you to replace your school board!
